China hasn't banned shark fins overall, just from being served at official banquets. But there's no reason why we should blame the Chinese especially, since my quick internet check shows that the only G20 country to completely ban the import or export of shark fins is Canada. A lot of countries ban the practice of "finning" including my country of Australia, but they still allow imports of shark fins. Problem is there's no efficient oversight of the practice of finning, so a lot of the shark fins that get through have still been taken from sharks which have then just been thrown back in the water to die.

China has already banned eating shark fins, so dont blame Chinese! The shark extinction was due to climate change and the ocean becoming warmer than before which is being totally denied by the Trump administration!
